my apology TS, i didnt intend to direct it to you but straight away tembak cos every other post speaks about RV... my bad!

anyway, i am currently driving two PHEVs and one of it is a BMW. Both are less than 3 years of age and all i can say, they have not given me any major issues that might question their reliability. the BM did have one issue related to battery but it is covered under the 5 yr warranty and once it's closer to expiry of warranty, i might change to another new vehicle simply because most major issues for any car n make of the current world starts creeping in from 6-7th year of ownership and i need a workhorse that can pull thru for me.

my last sentence might trigger jepunis car drivers and my caveat is that i am referring to conti makes because none of my current cars are jepunis and the only jepunis i had was vios when i was in my first job

already save rm40k upfront, im sure it can compensate for some imaginary or perceived ride and handling . did i mention the mazda can smoke the 320i or x1 on the straights
*
Don't think CX-5 2.5T can smoke G20 320i on straights la. 230hp and 420NM is a lot on paper but in real life CX-5 2.5T doesn't pull as strong as Bimmer from standstill.

I think CX-5 2.5T does the 0-100 in round 7.6sec while 320i around 7.

cx5 2.5 turbo at 180k is much better spec and features compared to bmw x1 or 320i or  mini cooper.

If want features, x70 better

U still charge ur battery onot. I like bmw 530e. Maybe my first conti in few years due to cheap pre reg as compare to 530i.

But I scare, one day I too lazy, and dont charge at all..does the fc become sky high if I dont charge battery?. As journalist said so.

those numbers are assuming:
1.  standing start
2. foot on brake, rev to 4000 rpm.

given these conditions, 320i can maybe achieve 7.X seconds.

why?

because of the gearing . 320i has 8 speed while cx5 has 6 speed.

in rolling start or on highway, cx5 will smoke the 320i with its abundance of torque. let alone bmw x1.
*
X1 maybe yes but doubt it will smoke 320i. Reason being cx-5 being a heavier & less aerodynamic vehicle. And torque figure on paper will never do its justice. ZF in the bimmer is known to deliver very well despite having less power.

problem is BMW
no problem already a problem

maintenance not repair already cost a fortune
merz is top  choice (luxury,  reliability)
lexus is much more reliable but no luxury feel

I dont think bmw is the problem. I brutalize my e46 M3 & E90. No major prob except wear & tear. Heavy foot me. I drive nissan, volvo, kia, proton, honda, mazda, merc. But bmw 3series suit me well. Merc but luxury but not fun to drive except A series. Yes i will sell my e90. People will say so much 3series people sell bcos jump ship. But i sell to upgrade to new 3series. Right now got latest 2019 fortuner, camry 2.5, c250 amg, yaris in my garage. More relax on camry, more eye catching on c250, but this best still my e90. e90 parts & maintainance consider cheap.

Zf gearbox is the best i think. It can handle 5series heavier boday & more powerful engine.

Still it is a Mazda and FWD. If you driven a BMW, you will know that normal Japanese ride (Except Lexus) still unable to get the NVH, ride and handling of a German marque.

The G20 320i is a tad underpowered.
Test drove it in Ara last week.

I feel like it is ok for what it is.

Now I drive my 330i pleasantly after calming down from the initial surge of excitement

It really shows its power and torque during spirited driving tho. Other than that... The suspension can be really hard for older people. I test drove the x1 pre LCI the other day and though "omg so comfortable"

U get G20 320i or 330i?
The 5 year free warranty is cap at 100k right? But warranty is it same or unlimited mileage?

BMW G20 330i 2019 CBU, Pre-Registered 8,000km, Sunset Orange laugh.gif

Warranty: 5 years, unlimited mileage, starts from the date of registration, for mine it was March 2019, so I still have 4 years left to claim for any defects

Free services:

+ Up to 5 years, starts from the date of manufacture (mine was January 2019), or within 100,000km
+ Service requirements are prompted by the car's computer every 10,000km OR once a year
+ If you do not drive a lot, it will prompt you to service the car after a year from the date of last service, even if your mileage in the past year is lower than 10,000km
+ If you drive a lot, it will prompt you to service the car after 10,000km, even if the date of last service is shorter than a year
+ As such, it is possible to finish the 100,000 km allocation before the 5-year period
+ In which case, you would still have to send the car to the official BMW SC for your services to retain the aforementioned 5-year, unlimited mileage warranty

Hope this helps
